Hey I’m in. I got some stuff from the last time, no not from the person who sent it to me, that I’ve put into a box. It’s almost ready to ship! Just be glad I haven’t done the work on my motorcycle yet I was planning on giving someone my old sprockets! ---

I just sent my email. As for people not getting packages, Rue recruited a crack squad of Emergency Backup Elephanteers to send addictional packages to folks who didn’t get theirs. And I’m not just saying that because I was one of 'em. 🆒 ---

Sure, sign me up. I need to, a, clean up a bit anyway. Not to imply that this stuff is no good or anything, it’s just… um, I never have time for it! Yes! Question: How is it determined who your package is sent to? Are they sent to the organizer, who then swaps them around and ships them out or something like that? ---

I’m in, even though I just cleaned my room and threw out 6 bags of junk. I’m sure I still have some treasures left (especially from the last White Elephant ;)) E-mail is on its way. ---

Okee, dokee: Kat - in! dreamer - in! Rick - in! Brynda - in! Grelby - in! (but I need yer mailing address!) beegirl13 - in! Grelby - once I have all the names (The cut off is June 21 I think), I’ll randomly[sup]\*[/sup] assign each Elephantur an Elephantee. I will send the Elephantee’s address to each Elephantur, and they will send the parcel directly to said Elephantee. Do **NOT** For the love of PETE! send your package to me, unless I’m your Elephantee! Ummm, K? \*It’s random in so far as I’m going to try to keep people mailing within their continent, just so no one is stuck with an astronomical postage bill. 🙂 ---

Oooh, I think I better try to redeem myself from my abysmal showing in the Book Swap graciously organized by **Cranky** and do this. I’ll get the package out in a timely manner, I swear! Email is on its way.
